Custom Systems

Optical system prototype development  ARCoptix provides their customers with complete design solutions ranging from concept to final prototypes. Their engineering capabilities include design and tolerancing of optical and mechanical parts as well as electronic system design.  ARCoptix is prepared to meet its customers' demanding system requirements. ARCoptix core capabilities includes: • Optical design (ray-trace, diffractive element design, specification for     illumination and detection) •  Mechanical engineering (Housing, alignment, packaging) •  Electronics (detection, digital conversion, supply, motor driving) •  Signal processing (algorithms, software implementation) •  Micro-optical and Liquid crystal technologies •  MOEMS design (MicroOptoElectroMechanical Systems) •  Patent protection Some examples of systems  realized and commercialized by ARCoptix:

Miniature spectrometer modules: We have developed in collaboration with the engineering school in Biel and the institute of microtechnology the Worldwide first two commercially available miniature Fourier transform spectrometers. One is based on polarization optics and the other on MOEMS technology.

Miniature Self-mixing interferometer: Robust interferometric based instrument for the accurate measurement of the velocity of roughness surfaces. Ideal for the characterization of watch movements.

Radial polarization converter: A complex liquid crystal system dedicated for academic research  laboratories that transforms a linear input polarization into  a radial or azimuthal polarization distribution.

We have also developed many other systems such as: multiple Optical tweezers systems, low cost DIC microscope (based on plastic birefringent elements), LIDAR (optical design), interferometric topology measurement system,... For more information contact an ARCoptix engineer: info@arcoptix.com
